Appearance of power laws in sports

Abstract

The proposal of the present work tries to critically review new models for intervention, analysis and comprehension so as to alter the present situation on how to approach the body of knowledge of sport sciences. By doing this it is sought to adjust its contents to the real situations in which the specific motor actions of each sports modality are produced. Thus, it is a more ample approach and appropriate to the direct needs of a sports technician, which allows for a complement of the tools used up to date. The proposal starts from the logic of complexity, in which everything influences upon everything; from the reality of the multiple and diverse that acts in a simultaneous way; from the fact that phenomena derive from interactions and antagonisms of the different parts; from the alleged randomness or almost-randomness of the events; from the variability of the behavior, etc.
